About this listen

In this episode of Living in the Gray with PK, we’re pulling back the curtain on the subtle but dangerous cycle of people pleasing and how it often leads to self-abandonment.

PK unpacks how this behavior is rooted in the fear of rejection, shares personal stories of navigating this tension as a pastor and Black woman, and invites you to take steps toward living more holistically — where your yes aligns with your values and your no doesn’t come with guilt.

This conversation is for the person who’s done disappearing to make others comfortable. It’s for the one learning that peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of self. If you’ve ever struggled to choose yourself without apology, this episode is your reminder: your wholeness is holy.
